  1. The Sekai Project convention page does not include Anime Boston on their list of conventions for the year, so it is just MangaGamer. However, both MangaGamer and Sekai Project will participate at Sakuracon in mid April.
  2. I wouldn't buy too much into the Purplesoft situation, there are plenty of reasons Purple Software could have chosen two different publishers which aren't related to how they think Sekai has been doing. The most simple explanations being either Sekai didn't want Hapymaher and MangaGamer did, Sekai didn't want to do two titles from the publisher at a time, or Purplesoft wanted try out two different publishers to see how they comparatively do. There hardly is a reason to lock into exclusivity when there are a number of active localization companies, each with a large work load. As for AWA speculation, the highlight of the convention should be the Denpasoft panel. There is a good chance they'll have announcements either for new titles or 18+ releases of some of their announced titles, but besides that just getting an hour long panel outlying what Denpasoft is planning to do is a new thing that we haven't got before. Even before the panel was announced, there has been a number of noteworthy developments involving Denpasoft since AX.
  3. I am thinking the Nutaku partnership is for the exact same reason they have been lukewarm to 18+ releases in the past. Or in short, it is all about the money, and Nutaku's new platform just presented an opportunity to get enough money for 18+ releases to be more worth it. The timing of the appearance of Nutaku's downloadable market worked out great for them though. As to Dovac though, regardless of if any of his particular rants had an effect on the bottom line or not, having your public face being someone who could easily have public meltdowns is not a good long term strategy, as any particular problem could potentially catch fire outside of the vocal community. Rather then being concerned with what he had said, they probably were more concern about what he would say in the future.
